These delightful Strawberry Hand Pies are a quick and easy treat featuring flaky refrigerated pie crusts filled with sweet strawberry pie filling, baked to golden perfection, and finished with a smooth powdered sugar glaze. Perfect for gatherings or a delicious homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2 boxes refrigerated pie crust (14.1 ounces each)

Filling

  • 1 can strawberry pie filling (21 ounces)

Glaze

  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk

Other

  • 1 egg white (beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while you prepare the filling. This will make the crust easier to roll and shape.
  2. Prepare Filling: Pour the strawberry pie filling into a shallow bowl and dice the strawberries with a fork and knife into small pieces. Set aside to use as your pie filling.
  3. Cut Pie Crust Circles: Unroll the pie crusts carefully. Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 6 circles from each crust. If needed, re-roll the scraps to get the sixth circle from each. Alternatively, you can use a Wilton heart-shaped cookie cutter for a fun twist.
  4. Fill and Seal Pies: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, place the chopped strawberry filling into the center of each pie crust circle. Fold the crust over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges together completely. Fold the pinched edges over and press firmly with the tines of a fork to seal the edges. Poke a single hole in the top of each pie with the fork to prevent bursting during baking. If using heart-shaped cutters, place one filled heart shape pie and cover with another heart; seal edges similarly and poke once with the fork.
  5. Brush with Egg White and Bake: Beat the egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Brush the tops of each hand pie with the beaten egg white to give them a shiny golden finish. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the pies are beautifully browned.
  6. Prepare and Apply Glaze: While the pies bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until the glaze is smooth and lump-free. When the pies are done baking, remove them from the oven and while still warm, dip each pie into the glaze, coating completely. Use two forks to flip and lift the pies out gently. Place them back onto the parchment paper and let the glaze set for about 5 minutes. Enjoy your delicious strawberry hand pies!

Notes

  • You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with fresh strawberries mixed with a bit of sugar and cornstarch if you prefer a fresher filling.
  • Allow the pie crusts to come to room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days for best freshness.
  • These hand pies can be made ahead and frozen before baking; just bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
